Tim Engle's 'Clowning Around' might have a fun title, but the gore and creepy settings featured in the photo shoot indicate that there's something far more sinister afoot.
'Clowning Around' takes place in what looks to be an abandoned hospital or mental institution. A male and female clown trade roles: nurse and patient, dead and alive, watcher and watched. Tim Engle has done an excellent job of capturing raw emotion and letting the images tell a story, but it freaks me out nevertheless.
